Sammy & Tate

Sammy and Tate had planned a quaint, private outdoor ceremony in September. Even for North Dakota, that shouldn’t have been an issue. I mean really, snow usually holds off until at least October 1st…. :)

It was a really chilly rainy morning, but that didn’t stop the guys from a little target practice, and shortly before the ceremony, the skies decided to dry up and the outdoor ceremony went on!

The smiles on these two people’s face just make my heart happy. They are so wonderfully in love. The setting was beautiful and their family support and love was palpable. With so much rain that day, these two are beyond blessed!

A year later...

Many times I will hear from prospective clients, “I want to lose 10 pounds first,

or

I hate the way I look in photos, so I don’t really want to take them.”

But you NEED TO.

People! There are no promises.

There are no guarantees.

We all think we have tomorrow or there will be a next time.

But there isn’t always a next time.



I can not describe the emotion I felt today photographing this family.

Who knew last year, that this years photos would look so much different.

Don’t wait.

Flatts the Way Love Goes...

This wedding was such a blast to photograph! We had already had a couple of engagement sessions, so they were old pros at posing by the time the wedding came around. Hilary and Erik just glowed! Their love is the real deal and I am so blessed to have been asked to photograph their beginning as a couple!
